Ror’tharr was born approximately 300 years before the Battle of Yavin on the Wookiee Homeworld of Kashyyyk. He was an unusually large and resilient Wookiee even as a pup, and quickly grew up to be a strong, independent and honourable young warrior. In the many years living in his tree-top home, Ror’tharr had many sons and brought much honour to his tribe through brave acts such as defeating great prey or surviving in the planet’s lower ‘levels’.
